Re: [Paddlewise] rolls and failure

I gotta say that if you have your roll to a place where it works well in
*combat* it should also work well at the end of the day, no matter how tired
you
are.  The roll should not be a stressful manuver requiring tons of muscle or
strength.  It's a finese move based on posture and balance.
